It would be nice to keep them all, but I am just a working class man trying to earn a living and have a little fun along the way.

Alisio, I am glad to see that your a comedian, will you be here all week? You must be one of those guys that tells all your friends how you run your house and your wife does everything you say as long as she is not around to hear you say it. I have several other hobbies, and the 500 has not even bee...

Yes the wife, The bike did not handle the tight trails like I wanted it to, and since I bought a KTM 300 xc she insist that it must go.

Cant bring myself to list it on ebay.

Reduced $4200

Any interest in this before it goes on ebay? My wife says it must go.

Thanks Trey

I purchased another bike so trades are not needed. Wife says the 500 must go. Any reasonable offers?

I have decided to get rid of my 2005 CrfX conversion and try to get a bike better suited for tight technical single track. I would like to sell it or trade for the right offraod bike. This is a nice bike and runs very well, it just does not handle the tight technical sections like I hoped. Below is ...

Not sure if it is IMS or Acerbis, but it will not fit a 2001 or eariler year bike. It only fits 02-07 CR125R or CR250R

I have a slightly used Red 3.2 gal. fuel tank that came of of a 2006 CR250R. Tank was only used a few times and is like new. The cap is included, but not the petcock. Will consider reasonable offers.

Thanks Trey

(SOLD)

nice how much did you have to mod the tank Not much, I had to shorten the fuel fitting and turn it around so that it is facing the rear of the bike. I also had to heat and reshape the tank by the right radiator. I used new 2001 CR250 radiators, but if I would have used diferant rads I may have been...

Here is the finished product for now, I need to let the funds build back up then I will replace all the plastic, and make it look better. I rode it for the first time on sunday 8/30 and it is an amazing ride. Our goal was to build the bike to look as if Honda produced it, but with the quality of Dav...

Thanks, and also a big thanks for the hook up on the square tube.

Thanks, I could not have done this without all the fabrication skills of my friend David VanMarter. He did all the cutting, bending, machining, and welding. Thanks alot David. More to come later

Yes it is a 2001 Service Honda conversion that could be purchased as a roller or as parts.

I finally finished my 2005 CRF450X conversion that a friend and I have been working on in our spare time. I have never posted photos, but will do my best. I will post more photos as I have time to do so. First one is my Engine Donor https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/1b93b2d832706ca0e8147028d...

Very nice build, I am currently building a 05 450X doing a very similar conversion with full cradle replacement. What radiators are you going to be useing, my stock radiators are hitting the Y. I plan on posting my conversion when complete.

Thanks

I am going to try to mod the radiators from my 450, but the hose connecting the two radiators is on the top. Does this pose a problem? All the 500's seem to be commected at the bottom. Any info and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Trey

Does anyone have any idea what airboot might be needed to convert a crf450x?

Thanks Trey

Is 4043 filler rod a good rod to use or do I need to buy something else?

Tell the welder to use Helium and Argon it burns hotter

In my opinion it's the first smart question ever asked on all the forums.

What Helium and Argon mix do I need to use? Will this mix help keep from melting my Tungsten?

Is there any need to heat treat to soften the alluminum before you start cutting and welding?

Thanks for the encouragement, I plan on doing this conversion, but I need to get ready for the race season. I guess that I am going to race my gen. 2 the first part of the season then convert the X. Once I start the conversion I may sell my gen. 2 Service Honda (chassis only). Thanks for the input. ...
